Thanks so very much. I appreciate the help!!!

That’s the case. What should permission be set at, 644? Is this the only folder I should worry about or are all folders at risk to something like this?

Thanks so much for quickly getting to this issue and solving it!!

William,

Thanks for taking a look at my site. I appreciate the straight shooting, I really do. However, I don’t quite understand how to fix the 90 problems. I barely (and I’m not even sure that I do) understand how to decipher the validation.

First, I should ask which validator you are using and where is the best info to find out when it says “line 123” which file I need to edit within my site?

This could take me many, many hours to fix. Am I better off paying someone to do it? Is this a quick fix for someone who knows that they are doing?

Thanks!!

Moshu,

I agree totally. This problem didn’t pop up until I upgraded to 1.5.

So am I just screwed until there is a new update for Firefox?

Moshu,

Thanks alot. I ran the validator again and it says I have 80 errors. It shows them all to me so now I can see what they are talking about. Now the task is figuring out what to do to them. ??

I found one place in my footer that had a copywrite symbol. Is that the one you are talking about? I deleted that but my sidebar still isn’t showing up.

Thanks!!!

Hello,

I tried to run this through a validator and have no clue how to interpret the results. It says “Sorry, I am unable to validate this document because on line 438 it contained one or more bytes that I cannot interpret as utf-8 (in other words, the bytes found are not valid values in the specified Character Encoding). Please check both the content of the file and the character encoding indication.”

Does that mean the problem is in line 438? How do I see which line is 438? Is it as easy as counting down the screen? I’m completely lost with this and my “programming skills” don’t even come close to understanding the codex and validation instructions that I have found.

Podz, can you, or anyone else, help me figure out what I need to do to get this website functioning properly. Or help me to understand how I can fix it.

Thanks

Cypher,

Thank you so very much. That was an easy fix for me and exactly the issue. I really appreciate your effort.

Thanks podz, I will try and figure out how to use a validator. I tried pulling each piece of code out individually to see if I could figure it out. But I had no luck. Is it just my sidebar.php that I need to run through the validator? If so, any helpful hints to someone who has never used a validator?

Actually, I lied and I apologize for it. ??

The one thing I did not try was to add “overflow:hidden;” to my themes style.css. Once I did that everything looked great.

Thanks

I did search and found the thread you’re speaking of. I tried all of the fixes they mentioned and nothing worked. That’s why I was hoping to get some site specific help. I appreciate your frustration with people posting questions before lurking around a bit, however, I did try a few things before I posted.

That being said, if you could figure this out for me I would be greatly appreciative. If not, thanks for your time spent helping me, both in the past and tonight.

In the theme’s style.css I found this:

#sidebar {
background: transparent;
border: none;
color: #443;
float: left;
font-size: 11px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0 27px 30px 20px;
text-align: left;
width: 128px;

Is this what I need to alter? And if so, what would you recommend?

Thanks

It took me awhile to check it with IE. So the problem may have been occuring since the blog’s beginning. I’m not too sure as to how to proceed with reducing column width and padding. Which files do I alter to make this happen?

Thanks

Thank you very much!!!

Thanks. I really appreciate your help.

The site is back up. Thank you. Am I good to try again or do I need some more help? ??
